LET'S TALK LUPUS || Because Lupus Sucks And Everyone Gets It Wrong || Rivet Licker

In July 2021, I posted a four part series about Lupus on my Instagram grid. Lupus is one of the conditions I have that affects my day-to-day living, and pretty much everything I do, right down to the most mundane tasks!

Image description: Collage on a white background. An askew Polaroid frame with a Bitmoji of Lara sitting on a red couch, gesturing for the reader to sit down with dark blue text above that reads "We need to talk. This is serious.". At the bottom of the frame is black text that reads “let’s talk lupus in detail” in all caps. In the corners of the frame are clip arts; clockwise from top left; an illustration of a medical doctor who is a woman with long black hair and brown skin, wearing a lab coat and stethoscope; a purple butterfly; an illustration of a character crying in pain and resembling Lara, wearing all black and has pink hair, pale skin, and red shadows to represent rashes around the cheeks, neck & arms; a purple lupus awareness ribbon.

This blog post is a collation of those four posts (copypasta), edited for the blog, with added extras I couldn't fit in Instagram captions!

What happens when life ruins your skincare routine. And Malar Rash.

Things have been really unorganized and not so great lately, so my skincare routine has really suffered. Between all the practical exams, practical lessons and Lupus flare ups, my skin has gone from OMG WOW! to OMG HOW?!

My neck is normal... My cheeks are extremely red.

I'd like to welcome you to the last few months of my life; stress, illness, and an "I don't care" attitude.
